Family

It has been confirmed that our family reunion will not be a real family reunion. I say this because, yes everyone is actually coming, but 4 of our family members are staying in a hotel. The reason for this is because Sarah, my cousin Mark's fiance, is staying this year. So my Aunt Leilin thought that it would be nice if she and my cousins Lori, Lisa, and Jennifer would stay in a hotel. Well usually we cram all 18 of us in one house and deal with it. But since Sarah is coming, we have to get a hotel so that she can be comfortable and not know what our real family is like. This scenario reminds me of "You Can't Take it with You". Sarah won't know what it's really like to go to a family reunion, with everyone there. Next time we'll all be scattered, like we always are. Ths is the first time, in a long time, that everyone is together. It just irritates the heck out of me that she gets special treatment, when our family really isn't the type to spend mony. We'd rather cram into one house. The Carlisle's had come up with a plan where everyone would get to stay in the hose. The only thing extra was a matress. That wasnt a problem. But the idea was shot down. Also, if Sarah realy wanted to get to know the family, one person from each family should get to sleep inthe hotel. Instead, my family is left out. Lori is from one family and Lisa and Jennifer are from te same family. Where does that leave the Carlisle's? Out in the dust! I feel really left out. My aunt didn't even think about one person in each family staying in the hotel room. It's too late to suggest that now though. Brooke and I are going to be left with the boys. No female bonding time. To me, this family reunion won't be a real one because there won't be the "everyone in one house" thing. Also, this arrangement means no staying up late watching Lisa play video games because she has to drive to the hotel. No staying up late to watch movies because the girls have to stay at the hotel. It's so unfair that our last reunion together as a whole big family won't really be together. I could use some advice, comments, anything. I feel really down. Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas.
